Hawaii General Store & Gallery

My home away from home :'')Right outside of University District is this humble store with a super cute Golden named Ellie and two friendly aunties. It has all of the essential Hawaiian snacks and fresh flower lei (orchids, plumeria, ginger, AND haku lei). Yes, it's more expensive than it would be back home, but it *is* cheaper than a plane ticket. I thought that street parking in front of the store wasn't so bad, either.PRO TIPS:- fresh orchid leis are shipped to the store on Tuesdays- fresh plumeria and ginger lei are shipped to the store on Wednesdays- fresh haku are shipped to the store on Thursdays, but place a preorder by Tuesday.

Great store. Friendly staff. Unique items. I highly recommend this store, especially for fresh flowers.

Neat store to find your ALOHA cravings. They have two cute dogs inside too. I wish they would have some sour gummies but I didn't see any. I was able to find Li Hing Arare and the Cuttlefish. There is a small area to assist with booking travels too.

This store is amazing. The customer service!!! It's dig friendly. We bought a poke seasoning mix from here and made our own poke. Truly was delicious and we need to come by so we can make it again soon.

We ordered a couple Hawaiian Leis for a UW graduation, they custom made them with yellow plumeria and purple flowers. They were beautiful and smelt incredible.

This place is awesome. Pre- ordered Lei's for college graduation. When at store I wanted to change selection, and by the way all ready to go when I got there. Very helpful in picking out another to go with what I had selected. Fantastic staff and very nice.

If your from Hawaii ... I am sure this little gem would bring a smile to your face and heart! The aunty in here is very welcoming just like back home! I actually came here to pick up some leis for my son's graduation and left with some much more. They have delivery service for us down in the south side. Did I say ... they have FRESH kulolo and POI that come in on Thursday's? Need I say more? Will I be back? YES for Sure! Like I said ... this is a gem!! Sometimes it just feels so good to go store and be able to not worry about we talk and just Wala'au, smile, and make your heart happy!! I did end up getting leis, gifts for coworkers, Hawaii kine snacks, and I also had GREAT conversations with aunty and everyone that works there! It truly left my heart so Happy!!

Love this store ~ they are always so warm and friendly with the Aloha spirit over the phone when I call from Honolulu to order Hawaiian lei, food items for delivery to our island granddaughter now living in Seattle.They have everything you need for our local Hawaiian islanders who miss their home islands' food, flowers, fragrances and warm Aloha welcomes.

If you need a little aloha in your life, this is the place to go. They've got all the Hawaiian snacks & vibes you need to bring a little sunshine in your life. I love stopping by to get leis for special occasions or snacks when I'm craving some li hing or Furikake!Also, their shop dog is a sweet golden retriever that greets you at the door & she is absolutely adorable. Great service & spreading aloha in Seattle- love it!

Looking for graduation candy leis ( or real flower leis)? This is place to go. It's also filled with everything Hawaiian like beads, shirts, food delicacies. I only had a short visit to pick up some candy leis for a graduation, but I look forward to returning to look thru everything!
